"Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the base knowledge for most of this "don't be needy/touchy/grabby" advice come from a SSM standpoint?"
Oh, I see why you might be confused. That advice is *part of* the message of DB and DR. SSM is a spin-off of DB/DR to work on a specific localized problem in the M. DB and DR address what to do in Ms that are falling apart more generally.
So, with just SSM you only have part of the M puzzle.
